Seven stakes including the $500,000 Spiral and $100,000 Bourbonette Oaks (both gr. III) are scheduled for the winter/spring meet that spans Jan. 1-March 30.

Posted on October 29, 2012 in Uncategorized by Michael Pizzolla Comments are off

Another confusing puzzle piece for those still stuck in Stage 1 handicapping…

Race-day medication banned in some Breeders’ Cup races this weekend
http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-breeders-cup-lasix-20121029,0,3468854.story

The Breeders’ Cup comes to Santa Anita this weekend with a controversial mandate to begin eliminating race-day medication in its thoroughbreds at a time when sports organizations worldwide are cracking down on competitors who use performance-enhancing drugs.

Much of the focus is on Lasix, a powerful diuretic that helps prevent bleeding and has been widely used in the U.S. since the 1970s to combat lung hemorrhaging in thoroughbreds. In California, the drug is injected four hours before post time.
